Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) apparatus, comprising: a processor configured to obtain component information of each of at least one IVI component, wherein the component information comprises a network address; a transceiver configured to send the component information of each IVI component to a terminal device; and a connection module comprising an induction coil configured to establish a connection between the terminal device and a first network before the transceiver sends the component information of each component to the terminal device, wherein each IVI component is connected to the first network, and a heat dissipation component configured to dissipate heat for the terminal device.

2

2. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to: before obtaining the component information of each of the at least one IVI component, receive a service request sent by the terminal device, wherein the service request is used to request to provide a service for an application installed in the terminal device; and determine, in all IVI components based on the service request, the at least one IVI component associated with the application module.

3

3. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the induction coil is further configured to charge the terminal device when detecting that the terminal device connects to the connection module.

4

4. The IVI apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising: a battery management module, configured to obtain battery usage of the terminal device before the terminal device is charged and determine, based on the battery usage, that the terminal device needs to be charged.

5

5. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a temperature management module configured to obtain an operating status of the terminal device before heat is dissipated for the terminal device, wherein the operating status comprises a battery temperature, and determine, based on the operating status, that heat needs to be dissipated for the terminal device.

6

6. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a network module configured to provide the first network for the terminal device and each IVI component before the management module obtains the component information of each IVI component.

7

7. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the component information further comprises at least one of a deployment location, a supported protocol, a protocol version, hardware information, and security information.

8

8. The IVI apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage device configured to store the component information of each IVI component.

9

9. A terminal device, comprising: a transceiver configured to receive component information that is of each of at least one in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) component and that is sent by an IVI apparatus, wherein the component information comprises a network protocol address; a communications module configured to communicate with the at least one IVI component based on the network protocol address; and a connection module comprising an induction coil configured to establish a connection between the terminal device and a first network before the transceiver sends the component information of each component to the terminal device, wherein each IVI component is connected to the first network, and a heat dissipation component configured to dissipate heat for the terminal device.

10

10. The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to send a service request to the IVI apparatus before receiving the component information that is of each of the at least one IVI component, wherein the service request is used to request to provide a service for an application installed in the terminal device, and receive the component information that is of each IVI component based on the service request.

11

11. The terminal device according to claim 9 , further comprising: a battery configured to supply power to the terminal device and charge the terminal device by using the connection module of the IVI apparatus.

12

12. The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein the communications module is further configured to communicate with some or all of the at least one IVI component based on the component information of each IVI component.

13

13. The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein the component information further comprises at least one of a deployment location, a supported protocol, a protocol version, hardware information, and security information.

14

14. A vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises the in-vehicle infotainment IVI apparatus according to claim 9 .
